These are the worst liberal news blogs I’ve read this year. Later today, I’ll do the best liberal news blogs I’ve read this year, but here are the worst:
Daily Kos
Hands down the worst I’ve ever read to this point is “Daily Kos.” In idea, it’s a great place for people to go for news, as it isn’t just a small group of journalists getting a few news stories and missing out on many others. But, in practice, it’s not. First off, the people writing for Daily Kos most likely have no journalism experience so expect a whole lot of articles that really have nothing to do with news or people just taking articles from other sites and then just adding their own commentary to them (often times without citing sources). Also, the people who run the site don’t have very high standards. Very little on the site is actual news, and most of it is just people spewing out hatred for right-wingers and their families (I’m quite serious). Plus, there is awful grammar and spelling (how hard is it to capitalize the “I” when speaking about yourself. Or making a distinction between “to,” “too,” and “two?”). I know I may not have the best grammar or spelling, (quite a few people have complained to me about it), but even most articles on Daily Kos make me cringe. The worst there is, hands down.
Salon
Salon isn’t a whole lot better than Daily Kos, in fact, it’s very similar to it. Salon, unlike Daily Kos doesn’t let just anyone write for them, they have a staff of “journalists” who write the articles for the site. But, like Daily Kos, very little of it is actual news, and whole lot of it is spewing out hatred of Republicans and Tea Party.
Truthout
This site, unlike Salon and Daily Kos isn’t mainly a hate site, they actually do some news. Sure, it is mainly opinion articles and news analysis, but at least it isn’t reeking of hatred of Conservatives. But, very poorly-informed (or possibly purposely leaving out facts) articles plague the site. It’s not really worth reading. If you want to get a good grip on what the left’s opinion is on something, then please, go ahead and read articles on this site, but if you want to see what is popular in the left-wing news cycle, just wait for my article on best left wing news sites.
Mother Jones
A self-described investigative news site, it becomes quite clear for any well-informed person that they almost always leave out vital facts, especially when it comes to climate change and our justice system. There is nothing investigative about Mother Jones, the only thing they seem to investigate is the stuff George Soros re-gurgitates. I don’t even bother to check out what they are reporting anymore, not worth my time.
Later, you’ll get to read about liberal news sites that are worth your time reading and possible getting actual news from.
